Getting Started
- For maximum crispiness, pat wings thoroughly dry with paper towels before seasoning. Arrange them in a single layer on a wire rack set over a baking sheet.
- Bake wings at a high temperature, around 200°C (400°F), for 45-60 minutes, flipping halfway. This renders the fat and crisps the skin.
- A small amount of baking powder (1/2 tsp per pound of wings) mixed with your dry rub can significantly enhance skin crispiness by raising the pH and breaking down proteins.
- When saucing, ensure your sauces are sugar-free. Use butter-based sauces, hot sauces, or homemade glazes sweetened with erythritol or allulose to maintain low-carb compliance.
